If there are outliers, then the mean will be greater than the median.  True  False

In a distribution plot, if mean is much smaller than median, does the underlying sample have very large outliers, very small outliers or is the sample size is very small?

You are a member of your local apartment association.  Recently, this association has received complaints from renters in a particular area of the city who feel their rent is much higher than other areas.  You investigate the complaint by collecting data from 4 different areas of the city (see table below). (a) Area A is the area that filed the complaint. Calculate the mean and the median of each area. (b) Do you feel Area A’s complaint is justified- why or why not? (c) Which do you think is a better measure to use in this situation - the mean or the median? Explain your reasoning.   Area A Area B Area C Area D 1275 1124 1085 928 1110 954 827 1096 975 815 793 862 862 1078 1170 735 1040 843 919 798 997 745 943 812 1119 796 756 1232 908 816 765 1036 890 938 809 998 1055 1082 1020 914 860 750 710 1005 975 703 775 930

It is possible for the value of the median to be greater that the value of the mode.  a. True b. False
